I know there are no words to say what I feel for all of you right now. I have walked down this road myself. Aunt Thelma you will be missed. I know you and Ava will be together again.

Words themselves cannot fully express the sorrow that is felt over the loss of your dear Thelma. My sincerest sympathy goes out to her friends and family. Losing a loved one is such a difficult thing to deal with. As time goes by,though, you will begin to realize that as you think of her smiles, her affection for family, her laughter, the pain has diminished a bit and you'll find yourself smiling again. I didn't know her personally but, having lost someone dear to me, I can empathize with the pain you have and continue to experience. What comfort such scriptures as John 5:28,29 brought me! You will read there about the promise Jesus gave of resurrecting our loved ones back to life. When he resurrected His friend Lazarus back to life, He showed his ability and desire to fulfill that promise. ( John 11:38-44 ) Can you just imagine the joy Lazarus' sisters felt when they held him in their arms once again? This joy we too will feel in the very near future. Until that day comes, we have the promise that God will draw close to those whose hearts have been broken ( Psalms 34:18 ) I truly hope these few scriptures have helped lessen the pain you feel as they had mine.

Tom and Annette and Family,
I am soooo sorry I was unable to attend Thelma's services and I apologize for the late condolences. I got married the day after the services and needless to say was extremely busy and had surgery a few days after that. I know there are no excuses for my absence but I hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive me. I do understand everything you are and will be going thru for some time. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
And again, please forgive me.
Lovingly,
Kim (Pacha) Ault
